'was stood'. ARGH! In the Guardian, no less.

'The CCTV footage shows that just one member of the public was stood by the gates at the time of the incident, and Mitchell appeared not to be talking as he wheeled his bike to the pedestrian entrance.'

I know an English teacher who regularly says "I was stood / sat". I always want to ask her who put her there! I also hate it when people are describing a past event and use the present continuous. Ggrrrrrr.
